GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOTV) With a little training and the help of a wonderful organization, a West Michigan boy’s wish came true to become a Jedi.

Brody was born with chronic kidney disease. Just before he turned three, he was hospitalized with a bladder infection and ended up needing a kidney transplant at age 3 ½. Now, Brody is a happy five-year-old and is doing well.

Brody got the chance to live his dream through Make-A-Wish. He said he wanted to become a Jedi, so they sent him to a Disney theme park and went to the Jedi Training Academy.

Make-A-Wish Michigan granted 429 wishes in Michigan during the last fiscal year, and is ready to grant even more this year. There are some events coming up where you can help Make-A-Wish make wishes come true:
